Fattening Swine.

Swine should be pushed forward
now in mild weather as fast as possible,
as they will gain flesh much more rap
idly on the same quantity of food than
in freezing weather. During the fatten-
ing process it has been found highly
beneficial to feed moderate quantity
of pumpkins, for when this is done
they assist the digestion of the grain or
meal given the swine, and enables them
to more perfectly and economically turn
it into flesh, thus saving a considerable
percentage in the consumption of food.
Pumpkins, or, what are richer and bet.
ter, winter squashes, ought to be grown
especially for this purpose by all swine
keepers. Aside from this, they are ex-
cellet for the store stock, as they will
do we'll if fed alone on these-that is,
provided they are of a good, quiet
breed.

Green Manurlng.

In green manuring the whole vege-
table growth is returned to the soil,
and in condition to insure rapid de-
composition. In no other way can a
soil in poor condition be brought into
good condition so rapidly and by so
small expenditure of money. BY its
skiilful use the light and shifting sends
of Belgium have been made the most
fruitful fields of Europe.
Many are prejudiced against green
manuring, believing that the process
gives back to the soil only what it has
taken from the soil. There is in most
soils large store of reserve material
for plant food, but in the insoluble and
inactive form. Certain plants have a
singular power of corroding these in

lowing is, | am convinced, excellent
practice on our clay soils; some of the
largest of my ensilage corn grew on a
clay and rye foundation. Just how to
harrow in the rye has always been a
bother. Common hairows in corn stub.
BILE are failure. The spring tooth
harrow is often little better than a rake
in the stubble litter; and to draw a
wheel-harrow among the stocks of corn
is to tear many of them down This
year a Clark disk harrow seemed to
work to a dot. AS soon as the corn
was cut (taking pains to have the stocks
placed in line) six pecks of rye was
sown upon an acre. No attempt was
made to seed the one row space in line
with the stocks. The disk out and
turned the soil admirably and buried
large part of the loose litter, and
put the rye out Of sight about as
we'll as drill, while there was no clog
ging. The horses were driven "strad.
die" of row of corn butts, and the
disks cut and turned everything. Twice
going over the feld-that is, half Of the
width of the disk was kept on new
ground all the time-did the business,
and once going over with Thomas

work, and now have coat of green

Headache, you are fdgetty, nervous,

you in worse condition than before.

Ounce Culture.

E. W. Cornell, ounce grower,
writes the New York Tribune as fol.
lows:
The ounce is a gross feeder, as is in
dicated by the multitude of its 6brous
roots interlacing and grasping every
portion of the soil in its vicinity. 1t
del 'ghts in hollows that have received
the wash Of fertilizing matter from
higher grounds, natures pockets that
have been storing up fertility for ages,
and from this fact came the mistaken
idea that the ounces should be set in
low, wet places, and it is often planted
where water stands the greater part of
the year. In such situations no fault
trees will continue to thrive.
I have had as good success with
ounces, set in upland quite dry but in
good condition of tillage and fertility,
as with those set in moist heavy soil,
each receiving the same treatment.
This fact has caused remark from many
visitors. The injury done the ounces
by over-fertilizing is greater than is
liable to occur to almost any other fruit
tree, as in very rich soils, or when abun-
dainty supplied with stimulating ma
nures, its growth is excessive to the
exclusion of fruit spurs. and, the rank
succulent growth continuing until the
approach of winter must receive injury
from freezing, producing blight the en-.
suing season.
In rich soils cultivation should cease
after July, and any shoots of excessive
growth should be pinched. A moder.
ate quantity of fertilizing material an
nualiy supplied to soil of fair condition
is all that is required. Leaf mould
muck, sods, mud from ponds, form 8
safe aud lasting dressing for the
ounce; it need not necessarily be in
corporated with the soil, for when
placed about the stems new roots will
be sent out to forage throughout the
mass. An orchard so treated will long
continue in health and productiveness
When propagated by cuttings, strong
shoots of the current years growth are
cut in the fall to one foot in length
having bud close to the base, and the
whole space between buds left on above
the top bud. Bury in bundles below
frost and in early spring plant in
trenches in rich, moist, soil, sticking
the cuttings at slant of from As to &C
degrees, SO that the top bud will be
even with the surface of the soil; stamp
firm at the base and cover with one inch
Of sawdust or other light material as g

Urinary Surgeon pronounced the di-

evidently not satisfied with this opin-

the disease were killed by the State
Veterinary Surgeon. One was in
dying condition, and the other had
only been ill since Saturday. This,

Chestnut Trees.

A correspondent of an exchange
urges planting nut trees along the
highways, instead of the other kinds
which yield nothing of value and dc
not afford any better shade than trees
bearing delicious fruits and nuts. In
cultivating nut trees We are not ne
glecting the aesthetics of our surround
ings or that of the highways. for the
hick6ries, walnuts and chestnuts are a:
noble and beautiful trees as the naples
lindens, and other common and famil
lar roadside trees.
To all this We give hearty concur
renee, and would urge attention espec'
tally to the chestnut. This tree will
grow and thrive as we'll over large
part of this State as it does in our
neighboring States. 1t is rapid
grower, and when standing alone forms
a wide.spreading top of regular proper
tions, thus making beautiful shade
tree.

More Pigs M UGH Wanted.

The present markets for pork and
other hog products afford an important
suggestion to farmers generally. Mess
pork, which sold slow at $500 per Dbl.
last autumn, goes quick now at $40.
A fat 800 ID live hog that brought in
the Chicago market six months ago Sl2
to $13, now readily brings SIS to ST.
This is partly due to the smaller
corn crop of 1886, though with corn at
about the same price as a year ago, the
hogs coming in are fed to much less
weight than then. The fact is, there
is a very small stock of hogs in the
country, and the supply is being drawn
down very low, the lighter imperfectly.
fattened animals being hurried off to
market. The result of all this, includ.
ing the hog cholera scare, is so reduc:
ing the number of hogs in most States
that there is not likely to be enough to
meet the demand, and the outlook is,
that it will be year or more before
there will be enough swine in the coun.
try to depress the markets to low fig
ure again. A greatly increased pro-
duction of pigs at the earliest day pos

and those able to first accomplish this
are likely to be large gamers.
